If memory serves, in the 1980's, Georgia and Oklahoma brought a suit against the NCAA claiming the schools owned the media rights to broadcast the schools sports events. The U.S. Supreme Court ruled in the schools' favor.
Following the decision, the schools have generally transferred their media rights for all sports to the conferences who have in turn negotiated deals with the TV networks. The NCAA has not been involved. I.e. SEC schools through the SEC have had their football games broadcast on CBS, ESPN and SECN in recent years.
The vast bulk of the conference distributions come from TV money. The SEC's last conference distribution was about 44-45 million a year. As a side note, the SEC distribution constitutes about 40% of the total revenue generated by the Tiger AD.
The one major exception is the NCAA Mens Basketball Tournament. The NCAA owns the broadcast rights to the tournament and it generates major revenue each year from the tournament. Some of that revenue is distributed to the schools that make the tournament and some is retained by the NCAA. I've never seen a breakdown of how much goes to the schools and how much to the NCAA, but the tournament is the NCAA's major funding source.
